The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1887-09-22

The above words should fill the
air and be the watchword Of every
citizen Of Giles county for the next
two weeks. We are all equally in
terested and it takes the hearty Co
operation of all to ensure success.
1t is just as much your duty to as
sist In this matter as anyone else's.
The directors and the president
have prepared for your pleasure
and obstruction the program laid
down in their annual book (books
very sparingly issued we will ad-
mit) yet it is no less your duty,
and mean what l say when l say
duty, for it is duty that every
farmer owes to the county he lives
in to support his county fair. We
are to have fair beginning on the
9th of the present month and it
will be success or failure just
as our people will it. The fair lasts
5 days, and although it may be
spread out rather thin, it is one of
the products of your county, and if
you have the right kind of county
pride you will help make it what it
should be and what with your help
it can be-one Of the best in the
state.
The directors have gotten up q
good program and it is for our peo-
pie to carry it out. Don't say
I'VE will never have fair with
these directors" The directors
can not possibly make fair. They
can only give the people a chance
to do so and with the people the
responsibility rests,and my aim is il
possible to arouse onr people to a
sense of their duty in this matter.
There is no county in Tennessee
more suited in every respect to
make a grand exhibit in every de-
partment than in Giles. Her live
stock is as good as any in the world
her crop product is second to none
her floral, vegetable and art depart
nents will compare favorably with
| that of any exhibition you can see
any where you may go; now all
that we need is for our people to
feel that this is "Our Fair" and that
we will go and that we will show
our stock, and above all that we
| will show that we are alive to the
interests of our county, our people
and our children. Show me coun.
ty that makes q good county fan
and l will show you an intelligent
and a progressive people. Let Us
all of US, merchants, farmers, me-
chanics, professional man and di-
vine, say to ourselves and to each
other, we will 60 to "Our Fair
and spend a pleasant day or two
show what We have done ourselves
and see what our neighbor is doing
We will all be benefited and come
home feeling better. Let us each o
US feel that we owe one or more
days of our life in each year to oul
county and let US show that we in
tend to pay that debt by going tt
"Our Fair" and taking our baske
dinner and taking our children ant
feeding the stranger that may come
among US. Let US quit finding
fault with dry weather. Let u:
quit finding fault with the direc
tors. If you don't like il ant
and think they ought to have done
better, 60 the fair by all means anc
elect q different set of officers. W.
got clear of some of the objectiona.
BILE ones at the last election and now
If you don't like these vote then
out! Let US have here in Giles
one Of the best counties in the state
a fair that we will We all be proud
of. Don't forget, sir or madam
that the success or failure of the
fair depends on you and not on any
one else. OBSERVER.
